Tony MassarottiHOST
I also believe that the Red Sox had personnel changes.
Tony MassarottiHOST
So before we get, and I've said this throughout the course of the year, and if you go back and look at some of the breaking balls, you'll find what I'm talking about, specifically the change at shortstop and the change in the lineup that got rid of strikeouts, people like Trevor Story, Marcelo Meyer, and even Roman Anthony, given that he wasn't hitting early in the year.
Tony MassarottiHOST
When you removed all those guys, the Red Sox started putting the ball in play and They started pitching and playing better defense, and they started manufacturing and winning games.
Tony MassarottiHOST
When they had that hot stretch, there was no Story, there was no Meyer, and there was no Roman Anthony.
Tony MassarottiHOST
And that is the stretch that saved their season.
Tony MassarottiHOST
Let's not be vague about that.
14 MINS LATER
Tony MassarottiHOST
And a number of the home runs that he hit during his ridiculous streak a few weeks ago were on high-velocity fastballs.
Tony MassarottiHOST
So the question then becomes this.
CorbinHOST
And honestly, I do agree with both of those takes.
CorbinHOST
And there is a very strong argument to be made that Roman Anthony should be somewhere else in this lineup.
CorbinHOST
But in this specific scenario, Roman Anthony is one of the best players on the team this year in terms of OPS against power pitching.
CorbinHOST
In fact, he's better against power pitching than he is anything else this year.
CorbinHOST
Cam Schlittler is kind of the power pitcher in Major League Baseball right now.
CorbinHOST
He's been really bad against Max Freed.
CorbinHOST
I don't really know his statistics off the top of my head against Carlos Rodon, but I imagine they're not fantastic either.
CorbinHOST
However, I do think the Red Sox are going to keep Roman Anthony in that leadoff spot.
Scott NevilleHOST
And I think one out had to be one out.
Scott NevilleHOST
And then Caleb Durbin tries to steal third, gets hosed, and then Roman Anthony delivers the hit that would have gotten him in to take the lead.
Scott NevilleHOST
I know you have thoughts.
Scott NevilleHOST
I kind of recapped it, but what is your opinion?
Tim BurkeHOST
And I think that would have – I think it was the right decision to try to steal third there.
Scott NevilleHOST
I like the not obvious overreaction.
Scott NevilleHOST
I did realize when you started talking that I said Roman Anthony instead of Jaron Duran.
Scott NevilleHOST
And it's because I had Roman Anthony as my next point, which is that, boy, he's pretty good at baseball.
Collin WhitchurchHOST
And in the Red Sox lineup, same thing.
Collin WhitchurchHOST
Willier, Bray, Roman Anthony, the lefties there.
Collin WhitchurchHOST
But they'll probably have lefty masher Jemai Jones in their lineup.
Collin WhitchurchHOST
Wilson Contreras crushes lefties.
Tony MassarottiHOST
So before we get, and I've said this throughout the course of the year, and if you go back and look at some of the breaking balls, you'll find what I'm talking about, specifically the change at shortstop and overtime.
Tony MassarottiHOST
The change in the lineup, they got rid of strikeouts, people like Trevor Story, Marcelo Meyer, and even Roman Anthony, given that he wasn't hitting early in the year.
Tony MassarottiHOST
When you removed all those guys, the Red Sox started putting the ball in play.

Shot into the gap.
Marc BertrandHOST
Oh, here we go.
Marc BertrandHOST
Too much.
Marc BertrandHOST
Damn Roman Anthony in that video is Roman Anthony.
Marc BertrandHOST
The story of the red Sox
Danny TancrediHOST
And here's why.
Danny TancrediHOST
I sold a Bowman Chrome first base card of Roman Anthony in a PSA 10 for $200.
Danny TancrediHOST
And it's a fucking base card.
Danny TancrediHOST
You can't penalize me for that.
Danny TancrediHOST
No, you can't say that they are.
Danny TancrediHOST
You can't tell me.
Danny TancrediHOST
Because then, okay, if Roman Anthony shatters his ankle tomorrow and that card becomes a $20 card, are you going to reimburse me? Are you going to count my pockets then when I lost money?
Johnny TancrediHOST
It's the same thing.
Marc BertrandHOST
Agree or disagree? Here are the five items that are problems.
Marc BertrandHOST
Roman Anthony is ice cold.
Marc BertrandHOST
Agree or disagree? Agree.
Marc BertrandHOST
He's hitting 149.
Marc BertrandHOST
This was written five days ago, I think.
Marc BertrandHOST
This is not up to date, but he was batting 149 at the time we mentioned that stat when it happened.
Marc BertrandHOST
Roman Anthony being cold is a problem.
Marc BertrandHOST
Red Sox struggle against high velocity.
Brian BarrettHOST
And then you trotted out a rookie in Conley early.
Brian BarrettHOST
And then on the positional side, you lost last year who was your best positional player in Roman Anthony.
Brian BarrettHOST
He wasn't even available in the postseason.
Brian BarrettHOST
So you were outgunned.
Brian BarrettHOST
And then you've built this thing sort of brick by brick over the last few years.
Brian BarrettHOST
Where obviously Bregman left, and we all know the story there, and you traded Rafi last year.
Brian BarrettHOST
But it is similar in the sense that you keep adding to a young core, right? You have Abreu, you have Raffaella, you have Roman Anthony, you have Peyton Tully.
Brian BarrettHOST
And in prior to 2025, you added Chapman to sort of stabilize the back end of your bullpen to go along with Garrett Whitlock.
Sean KellermanHOST
And you mentioned the A's and.
Sean KellermanHOST
the red Sox, you know, they've got Roman Anthony and a couple other guys.
Sean KellermanHOST
We understand that, but yeah, I think you would find a lot of front office people around the league that would take the one, two, three, hopefully four.
Sean KellermanHOST
If you get Michael Garcia, the guy that we remember back to being, to being healthy, if you don't mind David, and I know you probably don't have all this off the jump, but yeah, Take us through or any Royals fans that are watching because I need some answers to on some of these guys where they're at contractually.
